Quote: A California high school principal has apologized for telling five students they couldn't wear U.S. flag shirts on Cinco de Mayo, the local superintendent said Friday. Tensions at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill had risen in the wake of the decision to forbid the shirts, as the students who wore the shirts defended their right to show their patriotism -- even on a Mexican holiday -- while a large group of Hispanic students staged a walkout Thursday in protest. "This has certainly been a very difficult time for our school district," Superintendent Wesley Smith said in prepared remarks delivered Friday at a news conference. Smith affirmed that students are free to wear patriotic clothing on campus, but the campus also must be kept "orderly and safe." http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/05/07/california-principal-apologizes-forbidding-flag-shirts-mexican-holiday/ Bones: "Don't 'rawr' her!" Booth: "What? she'rawred' me first."

I like to think that this is an opportunity, an opportunity to use this rare piece of common ground to build a dialogue, a dialogue not merely to promote mere communication of our ideas but true understanding, understanding of just how truly wrong you all are and how right I always am.
